Beginner Lessons are below

       This page has lessons being offered in the greater Seattle area.  My council the Central Puget Sound Council is listed first along with the clubs within my council.  Also listed is when and where you can find them.  As you can see we have three teen clubs in the CPS council.  But square dancing is for all ages and if you have any questions please feel free to contact each clubs class coordinator.  Or feel free to ask me. 

       You will also find links to other clubs and organizations listed on this page that are offering lessons in the greater Seattle area. 

       At the bottom of the page is a list of square dancing definitions you might see or hear square dancers using.
